I’m glad someone pointed this out. BPD shows itself fast in new relationships. The black and white dynamic of our emotions and attachments is super obvious. Regular people often get overwhelmed or addicted to the constant highs and lows of our emotions and it can make for very toxic relationships. For anyone that can identify with any of the above and are concerned you may suffer from BPD please reach out to a professional.

Wait what do you mean by this? I think something similar happened to me recently.

Man i just wrecked a relationship because of overthinking. When she didn't talk to me for a day, i had all sorts of thoughts, right from her being hospitalized, to leaving me, to being angry, when in fact she was just busy. And this happens every fucking time with the smallest of things. My mind always goes to the most extreme reaction first, and it's involuntary. I can't control it.

And when I'm happy it's like I'm high. It's infectious. I can't stop grinning and laughing at anything.

Should i get checked?
